Here’s the synopsis, also via THR: “In First Reformed, Ethan Hawke plays an ex-military chaplain who, after losing his son, befriends a woman (Amanda Seyfried) also suffering from the loss of her husband. As the plot thickens, Hawke’s character dives deeper into his church’s suspicious affairs, finding discovers hidden secrets of his church’s complicity with unethical corporations.”

Schrader was also at Cannes with “Dog Eat Dog” last year. Cedric the Entertainer co-stars in “First Reformed,” which is being produced by Killer Films, Christine Vachon, David Hinojosa and Frank Murray. The film will premiere when Schrader is good and ready, damnit.
